A heavy, squared geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and uniform stroke weight. Corners are broadly radiused, terminals are mostly flat, and many joins are formed with stepped or cut-in corners that create a modular, engineered feel. Counters tend to be rectangular and compact, with frequent inline breaks and notches—especially visible in E, S, and several numerals—producing a semi-stenciled rhythm without looking distressed. The forms read broad and stable, with wide bowls, a low-contrast silhouette, and tight interior apertures that emphasize the outer shape.
Best suited for display roles where its blocky superellipse shapes and cutout details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, product names, and game or tech UI titles. It can work for short bursts of text in large sizes, but the tight counters and stylized breaks are likely to reduce clarity in dense body copy.
The overall tone is futuristic and utilitarian, evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi signage, and arcade-era display typography. The squared curves and deliberate cutouts add a mechanical, constructed character that feels assertive and technical rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into an impactful display alphabet, using consistent corner radii and strategic notches to suggest engineered construction. Its letterforms prioritize strong silhouettes and a techno voice, aiming for a distinctive, modern identity in branding and interface contexts.
The design relies on consistent radii and repeated cut-in motifs, which helps it feel cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Several glyphs use unconventional internal structure (e.g., segmented horizontals and inset counters), boosting distinctiveness but also making very small sizes more prone to filling in.
